The verse names a last cluster of warriors on the Pandava side, completing the muster that Duryodhana has been reciting to his teacher Drona. Most commentators identify them the same way: Yudhamanyu and Uttamaujas, then 'Saubhadra,' which means the son of Subhadra, that is Abhimanyu (Arjuna's son), and finally the 'Draupadeyas,' the five sons of Draupadi, beginning with Prativindhya. One commentator adds that the small connecting word 'and' (cha) is meant to sweep in still other famous Pandava sons not named outright, such as Ghatotkaca.

Every one of these warriors is a 'maharatha,' a great chariot-warrior, and the verse stresses this of the whole group at once. The point is their power and standing: these are not ordinary fighters but men of great strength and prowess, and so none of them is to be disregarded. One modern commentator, reading these lines together with the verses just before, underlines the same force from the side of their weapons: they carry mighty bows that take great strength even to draw, and in battle they are the equals of Bhima in strength and of Arjuna in skill at arms.

Several commentators pause to give the technical military rank behind the word 'maharatha.' The standard definition they cite is that a warrior who can fight ten thousand bowmen single-handed, skilled both in weapons and in scripture, is called a maharatha (great chariot-warrior); one who can fight a countless number is an 'atiratha' (super chariot-warrior); one who fights with a single opponent is a plain 'ratha' (chariot-warrior); and anything less than that is a 'half-ratha.' This was not a loose compliment but a recognized grading of warriors, and one commentator notes that the full scale is laid out in the Udyoga-parva of the Mahabharata.

The little phrase 'all indeed' (sarva eva) is doing real work, and the commentators draw it out as the heart of the line. It insists that the whole company shares this great strength, so the listener will not dismiss any of them. One commentator even faces the objection that an earlier line seemed to rank a warrior too high, and resolves it precisely through this 'all indeed': everyone named, and everyone folded in by the word 'and,' counts as a maharatha here, with none left as a mere ratha or half-ratha.
